God bless and I hope we can reconnect one of these days. Craig. Hey Aaron – from one yankee Whangarei boy to another, nice to hear you are on the mend.

I kept seeing you treking back and forth to the hotpit and I was amazed everytime I saw you WALK by. I was telling someone the other day that you had had so many miracles happen in your recovery. Truly amazing. So even though we didn't get a big chance to visit at Hastings, I want you to know that we were so happy to have you there, doing your thing. Mark said he wanted to give you a big hug but wasn't sure it was appropriate. So I will just pass it along to you in spirit. We really hope to see you at High Plains this weekend. It makes our race family feel complete. Tammy Aaron,

I'm sure people will benefit from your experience on the track, doing well on the track really requires preparation and focus on so many levels.

You are one son of a gun! I truly hope your 'second life' brings you even more fulfilment as obviously you've learnt so much since your life changing race. I hope I'm not asking too much here..........but wondered if you had a few minutes during some down time to send a message to my stepson Darryl(18yrs). Your Dad knows of his situation and sent a lovely card to us as he trained my husband Mike Sabin nearly twenty years ago on the farm he was working at that time. He obviously didn't know of the connection either of me previously being married to Danny! Anyhow, Darryl suffered a catastrophic/traumatic brain injury on Anzac Day (25 April) while playing rugby at Te Hapua in the Far North. He wasn't expected to live and for the first two days we were told to prepare ourselves for the worst. However Darryl (being Darryl and sharing some similar traits to you I'd suggest) on day 3 wiggled his toes and gave the Dr's some indication he was not ready to give up. Since then he's made slow but steady progress to the point he was discharged from the HDU at Akl hospital last Mon 25 May and admitted to a brain injury rehab all while still being in a coma! We took the liberty also of setting up a website similar to yours, as we'd all been following your progress......so hope you don't mind. It's getwelldarryl.com We're reading the messages out to Darryl so if you have any words of wisdom from your experience that you think may help I know Darryl would be blown away to hear from you. Sorry for taking up so much space with this and I hope you don't think I'm being too cheeky, this was the best way I could think of getting in contact quickly. Best regards Catherine Hi Aaron
